Various Comments on the arrest of Sir
Wilfred Blunt
Dublin, October 24.-The news of the
arrest of Mr.. Wilfred Blunt, at Woodford,
yesterday, has caused the greatest excite
ment in this city.
A feeling Of intense qualification prevails
among the NatiOnalists.
Mr.. Harrington last night expressed
himself that he did not believe Mr.. Blunt
would be detained or prosecuted, "but, =
he added, "it will do good and | should
not wonder if we hear more of il"
Mr.. VIM. O'Brien was paying Il visit to
Mr.. dillon when the news Of Mr., Blunt :
arrest arrived, Both gentlemen expressed
great concern for the personal inconven-
ience to which Mr. Blunt would be sub
iected, but could not conceal their gratiti-
cation at the turn events had taken. The
interest was intensified when il became
known that the telegraph wires between
Poatumna and WoUdford had been cut and
the service suspended for several hours.
The greatest activity prevailed at Dublin
Castle, communications being constantly
sent and received.
Sir Wilfred Blunt's letter 70 Magistrate
Byrne guaranteed moderate language on
the part Of the speakers. He warned the
Magistrate that he would hold him respon-
sible if he attacked an unarmed orderly
meeting
About thirty persons were more or less
seriously injured at WOodford. The ieel-
ing against the police runs very high. II
is stated that in many instances they had
recourse to unnecessary brutality.
The Standard says Sir Wilfred Blunt has
unintentionally done good service for the
Government by showing English fomen-
tiers of disturbances in Ireland that they
are to be treated exactly the same a. na-
tive agitators. SSys the Standard 1--WE
are bound to admit that but for his most
opportune challenge he would have escaped

Millionaire DrsxeI Discusses the Bright
Business Outlook.


PIfrSBURG, October 24.-Mr. A. J.
Drexel, of the financial firms OF Drexel.
Morgan & Co., and Drexel & Co., passed
through the city this morning, en- route
from Chicago to M York. Mr.. Drexel.
who IS recognized as one of the leading
iuanciers of the age, is the senior member
Of the firms that took prominent part in
the reorganization of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. In all lnterview Mr.. Drexrl
said:
The stories that have been published
from time TO time about stringency in the
money market have been exaggerated. In
fact there has been no stTingency in the
money market. There has been. TO = eer-
tain extent, timidity in some circles to
let out money, but not to the extent the
public has been led to believe. Of course
in business affairs ever and anon the unex-
pected is happening but / consider that
to-day the financial condition of the coun-
try is good. 1t is true that there has been
an imitation OF real estate in the west, but
not to the extent that il is likely to reach
against the prosperity Of the country. 1t
will be checked before it reaches that
stage.
"Do you regard the business outlook for
the coming year as favorable"
"As l said, business at present is good,
not only in sections but Throughout the
country. We are now on a good solid
foundation. While it is still a little early
to make predictions for the coming year. l
consider that the future outlook is bright
There is no reason why this prosperity
should not continue. think there will be
a fair demand for money for the balance of
the year. There is always a tightening of
the money market at the end OF each year,
and this may be expected about next
January. | consider, however, that the
present outlook points TO next year as one
that will be prosperous "
What has been the effect of Ofbuying up
the bonds as per the recent order from the
Treasury Department."
"The buying in of these bonds was
wise step and resulted in good to the busi-
ness interests. do not consider how
ever, that so-called money market strin-
gency will neceSsitate the further buying
of bonds If there is occasion 10 purchase
them it will be more to get rid of the sur
plus in the Treasury"
care any further developments of a
business nature promised in the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Affairs"
"No, | can't say that there ale. All
has been published that there is to say
about that matter Are we satisfied with
the sale of the telegraph? II had to be
sold, and the best that could be done with
it was accomplished. No, did not attend
the Chicago meeting and know nothing
about it,"

A BATTLE IMMINENT.
Indian Territory In Arms-A Disputed
Election

Election
TAHLEQUAH, l. T., October 24.-The
killing of Editor B. H. Stsne, of the Table.
quah Telephone, on Saturday will, it is
feared, result in a civil war in the Chero-
kee Nation.
The tragedy is a climax to the most bit
ter political fight that has ever taken place
in the Territory, and the Indications are
that the trouble will result in the sever
ance ot the tribal relations and that the
Territory will be thrown open to settle
ment.
The Cherokee Nation is divided into two
political parties-the Nationalist, headed
by hall-bresd named Rabbit Bunch, and
the Downing party, led by a white man
Sam Mays. The Nstionalists are now in
power and have controlled the affairs OF
the Cherokees for more than dozen years.
The returns as announced and conceded
by the Nationalists shows that Mays was
elected chief by l35 votes. The conster-
nation and surprise OF the administration
at the unlooked-ior result were displayed
in the Adroeafe, which first raised a mild
cry Of fraud and subsequently emphasized
and repeated il. Another count was called
for, but the Telephone hurled back the cry
of fraud aud insisted that enc count was
enough. While the papers and leaders
were wraDgling il is alleged that one Of
the ballot boxes was stolen and taken to q
private house, where il was stuffed with
enough votes to elect Rabbit Bunch,
should there be a new count. The second
count did take place, and the Nationalists
claimed the election of Bunch. The oppo-
sitlon resisted and the case was to come
before the Council, which meets week
from tomorrow.
Stones friends are determined on ven
geance, and, as they are rs strong as the
Nationalists, it is feared pitched battle
will be the result. To-day the leaders of the
Downing party all appeared armed, and IL
is said word has been sent to all the follow
ers to arm. Boudinot, the murderer, has
been taken in charge by his friends, who
claim that he is in custody, but will not
place him in Jail. The Council is said to be
divided in the election contest, and rs there
is NO court of adjudication except the shot
gun, the indications are that the near fu-
ture will witness an alarming mortality
among the Cherokees.

| A Sensational StOry--Witnessss Testify for
the Prisoner.
CLEVELAND, October 24.-CouGt did
not not convene at Ravenna to-day until
afternoon. During the forenoon several
absurd rumOrs were put in circulation.
One was TO the effect that a call had been
made ON the Governor for company
of militia to guard the Jail
aud Court House and prevent rescue
of the prisoner, "Blinkey" Morgan The
cause of all this excitement was myste-
riOus letter sent to "Blinkey," and which
was intercepted by the police II prom
ised to help the prisoner. Nearly every
body regards it as the work of a crank, but
there is no doubt much apprehension in
the minds of the people of Ravenna.
The examination of witnesses for the
defense began at the opening of court to-
day. The first called was DR.. ". White
of Ravenna, who came to Cleveland with
Captain Hoehn, after the tragedy. The
Doctor said that Captain Hoehn told him
while on the waV to Cleveland that he
| uOJ "ltdl WAS
thinking about Just before the assault, but
he gave the doctor description of his
assailant as he could remember him at
that time. The object of the defense
was to show that person dazed by
a blow on the head, such
as Captain Hoehn received before the
struggle on the train, could not remember
clearly what happend. Bernard Kinney,
the telegraph operator at Rayenna station,
was next called He boarded the train on
which Hulligan aud Hoehn were assaulted
and witnessed the fight. He said the man
with whom Capt. Hoehn was struggling
hut could not identify him in the person of
Morgan. He thought Morgan was lighter,
but was not positive about anything
The court then adjourned until TO omorTOw
